This case is a division of Roberts, Serial Number 14,188, filed March 9,1925, for concealed waste receptacles.

The object of this invention is to provide a.

13 strong easily operating guide means for drawers and like receptacles.

'Other ob'ects and advanta es of thein vention will be apparent from thefollowing description, considered in conjunction with the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a wastereceptacle embodying the invention applied to the bottom of a desk. i a

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical section through the wastereceptacle, certain of. the' elements removably supporting the receptacle being shown in side'elevation.

Figure 3 is a transverse vertical section through the waste receptacleand through the supporting means therefor.

Figure 4 is a perspective group-view showing a fragmentary portion ofthe waste receptacle together with co-operative elements foranti-frictionally supporting the waste 2 receptacle for slidingmovement. 7

In the accompanying drawings, particular reference being had toFigure 1,2' indicates the parallel sidewalls of a drawer or receptacle, made offibre, wood, metal, or the like.

Slide bars 10 are attached to the sides 2 of the receptacle body,preferably by rivets therethrough. Each slidebar is substantiallyangular in cross sectional contour, and

comprises an arm 8 secured by screws 9 or' like fastening devices, tothe upper edge portion of one of the sides 2 and a horizontal arm 10which extends outwardly from said sides, preferably in the plane of theupper edge of the latter. The arms 10 of each of the slide barspreferably has a depending lip or head 11 at its outer edge. In carryingout the invention, I provide means removably supporting the receptacleon the desk bottom between the lower drawer 15 so that the end I whichis substantially U-shaped in cross sectional contour. However, one ofthe arms of each of the rails 17 is wider than the other thisapplication filed. February arm of therailand is formed with an outv atits edge; The attaching flange 18 is substantiallyparallel to the webportion of the fore will behorizontal when the attaching flanges 18aresecured against the under side of the bottom rail 13 of the desk byscrews 19 rail and the web portions of suchrails, thereor like fasteningdevices; A plurality of rollers 20 are rotatably. supported between theside flanges 0f=.each of the rails as by means of axial shafts 21extending transversely of the rails'and having the end portlons thereofextended through alined open- 6 5 ings 22in the said flanges of therails. I

From theforegoing description of the various parts of the device, theoperation. thereof may be readily understood. The receptacle body'isarranged to permit the horizontal flanges 10 0f the slide members 8-10to' rest upon the rollers with the depending bead 11 wardlyextendinglateralattaching flange 18 V disposed between the rollers 20and the adjacent side flanges of the supporting rails and with the endmember 4 at the outer end of the receptacle body. The end member 4 maybe provided with a handle 23. During theoperation of the-drawer, theweight of same is carried on the rollers 20, which in turn are carriedby the axial shafts 21 and the channel bars 17 the weight of the drawerwill serve to rotate the rollers when the drawer is operatedhorizontally, thereby. providing a rolling contact with minimumfriction. The receptacle body may be entirely removed from thesupporting means by pulling it outwardly clear of-the guides. Otherapplications of the invention may be made as will be apparent to thoseskilled in the art.

In combination apair of horizontally disposed parallel rails, a channelmember extending longitudinally of the under face of each rail andhaving lateral attaching flanges attached to the rails, rollerssupported in the channel members for rotation about horizontal axes anddisposed directly beneath the rails, a drawer arranged for longitudinalmovement between the channel members,

angle rails secured to'the upper edges of the.

side walls of the drawer and having their J e i 7 1,788,328

horizontal flanges lo cated hetweeh the under face bf the rails and therollers, and a. downwardly extending flange formed on the horizontalflanges of the anglemembers and lying between the rollers and onesidewall of each.- =channe1member to retain thedrawer against lateralshifting. v 7 Y "WILLIAM F.
